Not snakes I know but with hens if there is a lack of calcium it can cause soft shells and this in turn can mean the hen has trouble laying the eggs and the egg can become stuck inside her and brake causing death. |

in the book ive bought they give it to their females when breeding them. i didnt use it last year and her double clutching looked like it really drained her so was gonna try and give her a helping hand this year |
